Expand your streaming options

Also included on the GoStream SURF are the most versatile ViewCast software applications - Niagara SCX® Pro and Simulstream® - both pre-configured and ready to use. These tools empower you to set up, control and monitor multiple Niagara streaming systems throughout an enterprise or over the Internet, using a single, easy-to-use interface.

Capture, encode, stream and archive video in a wide variety of popular encoding and streaming formats.

Niagara SCX, together with Simulstream, enables you to create multiple streams in different formats in real time, giving you the flexibility to create exactly the right content for your various audiences. This means you can encode different streams for Intranet users, high-speed Internet users, dial-up users, and viewers on mobile devices - all at the same time!

With MPEG-4 and Adobe Flash Live streaming capabilities you can deliver your rich media content to the latest Internet-enabled video devices, as well as a wide array of mobile devices. You can size and scale each individual stream, and customize each stream with bitmap overlays (e.g., logos), closed-captioning, etc.
